Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. This ensures the pie crust will be perfectly baked and golden when you put it in the oven.
- Take your deep dish pie crust and gently add it to your pie pan. Make sure you fit it well into the edges and leave an overhang to crimp later.
- In a Ziploc bag, combine the sliced apples with flour. Shake gently to coat the apples. This step helps to absorb some of the juices, preventing a soggy crust.
- Now, toss the coated apples in another bag with white sugar and ground cinnamon. Ensure the apples are well coated and then arrange them in the pie dish, layering them nicely and sprinkling any excess cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining white sugar, brown sugar, and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. You want to achieve a texture that resembles wet sand.
- Evenly spoon the crumble mixture over the arranged apples, making sure to cover them completely.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the topping should be golden brown and the apples bubbling.
- Once baked, remove your pie from the oven and let it cool slightly. This will allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Notes
If you have leftovers, you can store the pie in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just reheat it in the oven before serving for the best taste!
